Description

California. The summer of ’67. Benjamin has graduated at the top of his class, his parents are very proud and, since he helped Mrs Robinson with her zipper, his future is even more confused…

A cult novel. A landmark Hollywood film. A theatrical sensation, following sold-out engagements in London and New York. The Graduate, presented by Staged Cinema Productions at the Maverick Theater, is the first west-coast production since the close of the Broadway tour.

Based on the book by Charles Webb and the film, by Calder Willingham and Buck Henry, The Graduate has been hailed by critics and audiences alike. The New York Times called it “one of the best social satires we’ve ever had,” and in 1998, the American Film Institute named The Graduate the seventh-most popular movie of all time.
